תְהִלִּים 72

1 לִשְׁלֹמֹ֨ה ׀ אֱ‍ֽלֹהִ֗ים מִ֭שְׁפָּטֶיךָ לְמֶ֣לֶךְ תֵּ֑ן וְצִדְקָתְךָ֥ לְבֶן־מֶֽלֶךְ׃

A psalm on Solomon.

2 יָדִ֣ין עַמְּךָ֣ בְצֶ֑דֶק וַעֲנִיֶּ֥יךָ בְמִשְׁפָּֽט׃

Give to the king thy judgment, O God: and to the king’s son thy justice: To judge thy people with justice, and thy poor with judgment.

3 יִשְׂא֤וּ הָרִ֓ים שָׁ֘לֹ֥ום לָעָ֑ם וּ֝גְבָעֹ֗ות בִּצְדָקָֽה׃

Let the mountains receive peace for the people: and the hills justice.

4 יִשְׁפֹּ֤ט ׀ עֲ‍ֽנִיֵּי־עָ֗ם יֹ֭ושִׁיעַ לִבְנֵ֣י אֶבְיֹ֑ון וִֽידַכֵּ֣א עֹושֵֽׁק׃

He shall judge the poor of the people, and he shall save the children of the poor: and he shall humble the oppressor.

5 יִֽירָא֥וּךָ עִם־שָׁ֑מֶשׁ וְלִפְנֵ֥י יָ֝רֵ֗חַ דֹּ֣ור דֹּורִֽים׃

And he shall continue with the sun, and before the moon, throughout all generations.

6 יֵ֭רֵד כְּמָטָ֣ר עַל־גֵּ֑ז כִּ֝רְבִיבִ֗ים זַרְזִ֥יף אָֽרֶץ׃

He shall come down like rain upon the fleece; and as showers falling gently upon the earth.

7 יִֽפְרַח־בְּיָמָ֥יו צַדִּ֑יק וְרֹ֥ב שָׁ֝לֹ֗ום עַד־בְּלִ֥י יָרֵֽחַ׃

In his days shall justice spring up, and abundance of peace, till the moon be taken sway.

8 וְ֭יֵרְדְּ מִיָּ֣ם עַד־יָ֑ם וּ֝מִנָּהָ֗ר עַד־אַפְסֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃

And he shall rule from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.

9 לְ֭פָנָיו יִכְרְע֣וּ צִיִּ֑ים וְ֝אֹיְבָ֗יו עָפָ֥ר יְלַחֵֽכוּ׃

Before him the Ethiopians shall fall down: and his enemies shall lick the ground.

10 מַלְכֵ֬י תַרְשִׁ֣ישׁ וְ֭אִיִּים מִנְחָ֣ה יָשִׁ֑יבוּ מַלְכֵ֥י שְׁבָ֥א וּ֝סְבָ֗א אֶשְׁכָּ֥ר יַקְרִֽיבוּ׃

The kings of Tharsis and the islands shall offer presents: the kings of the Arabians and of Saba shall bring gifts:

11 וְיִשְׁתַּחֲווּ־לֹ֥ו כָל־מְלָכִ֑ים כָּל־גֹּויִ֥ם יַֽעַבְדֽוּהוּ׃

And all kings of the earth shall adore him: all nations shall serve him.

12 כִּֽי־יַ֭צִּיל אֶבְיֹ֣ון מְשַׁוֵּ֑עַ וְ֝עָנִ֗י וְֽאֵין־עֹזֵ֥ר לֹֽו׃

For he shall deliver the poor from the mighty: and the needy that had no helper.

13 יָ֭חֹס עַל־דַּ֣ל וְאֶבְיֹ֑ון וְנַפְשֹׁ֖ות אֶבְיֹונִ֣ים יֹושִֽׁיעַ׃

He shall spare the poor and needy: and he shall save the souls of the poor.

14 מִתֹּ֣וךְ וּ֭מֵחָמָס יִגְאַ֣ל נַפְשָׁ֑ם וְיֵיקַ֖ר דָּמָ֣ם בְּעֵינָֽיו׃

He shall redeem their souls from usuries and iniquity: and their names shall be honourable in his sight.

15 וִיחִ֗י וְיִתֶּן־לֹו֮ מִזְּהַ֪ב שְׁ֫בָ֥א וְיִתְפַּלֵּ֣ל בַּעֲדֹ֣ו תָמִ֑יד כָּל־הַ֝יֹּ֗ום יְבָרֲכֶֽנְהֽוּ׃

And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Arabia, for him they shall always adore: they shall bless him all the day.

16 יְהִ֤י פִסַּת־בַּ֨ר ׀ בָּאָרֶץ֮ בְּרֹ֪אשׁ הָ֫רִ֥ים יִרְעַ֣שׁ כַּלְּבָנֹ֣ון פִּרְיֹ֑ו וְיָצִ֥יצוּ מֵ֝עִ֗יר כְּעֵ֣שֶׂב הָאָֽרֶץ׃

And there shall be a firmament on the earth on the tops of mountains, above Libanus shall the fruit thereof be exalted: and they of the city shall flourish like the grass of the earth.

17 יְהִ֤י שְׁמֹ֨ו לְֽעֹולָ֗ם לִפְנֵי־שֶׁמֶשׁ֮ יָנִין (יִנֹּ֪ון) שְׁ֫מֹ֥ו וְיִתְבָּ֥רְכוּ בֹ֑ו כָּל־גֹּויִ֥ם יְאַשְּׁרֽוּהוּ׃

Let his name be blessed for evermore: his name continueth before the sun. And in him shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed: all nations shall magnify him.

18 בָּר֤וּךְ ׀ יְהוָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהִים אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל עֹשֵׂ֖ה נִפְלָאֹ֣ות לְבַדֹּֽו׃

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who alone doth wonderful things.

19 וּבָר֤וּךְ ׀ שֵׁ֥ם כְּבֹודֹ֗ו לְעֹ֫ולָ֥ם וְיִמָּלֵ֣א כְ֭בֹודֹו אֶת־כֹּ֥ל הָאָ֗רֶץ אָ֘מֵ֥ן ׀ וְאָמֵֽן׃

And blessed be the name of his majesty for ever: and the whole earth shall be filled with his majesty. So be it. So be it.

20 כָּלּ֥וּ תְפִלֹּ֑ות דָּ֝וִ֗ד בֶּן־יִשָֽׁי׃

The praises of David, the son of Jesse, are ended.
